On Sunday we had the joy of ‘gathering’ again on Zoom to sing, pray, hang out, and hear the word as a scattered church! Thank you all for joining in so enthusiastically and joyfully. It truly gives me joy as your pastor to see your faces and to see you participate in the service, despite all the weirdness of online!

We looked at Matthew 13:1-23 and saw that the parable of the sower is here to: train us as messengers and test us as hearers.

It’s trains us that as we go forth in mission we are to go forward confidently knowing that God is in control, and that even if we don’t see the fruit we want, to know that the message of the gospel and the messengers of the gospel are not the problem, it’s the hearts of the hearers.

It also tests our hearing of the word. Jesus warns us to beware of the devil, beware of our temporary feelings, beware of the cares of this world, as we hear the word.

So friend, how is your hearing?
